I alphabetized the Post-Stonewall and 21st century sections, which had many additions that were not in alphabetical order. I also added Thomas Glave, Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes, Jaime Manrique, and Emanuel Xavier to the Post-Stonewall category. How are people using the "21st Cent" category? Is it for people whose first book (or first major book) comes out on or after 2000? Thanks.-- Mgdelarosa ( talk) 03:50, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
I have moved Arenas from pre-Stonewall to post-Stonewall. I have also incorporated John Rechy, who was not on list. While both started to write before 1969, their aesthetic projects are more in line with post-Stonewall authors like Larry Kramer. I would not mind having clearer guidelines regarding this. I am open to moving them back to pre-Stonewall if there are strong sentiments about that.-- Mgdelarosa ( talk) 04:00, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
I've done additional cleaning up and expansion, and included Gloria Anzaldúa, Magali García Ramis, Alicia Gaspar de Alba, Cherríe Moraga, Achy Obejas, Manuel Puig (and Kiss of the Spider Woman), and Mayra Santos-Febres. Almost all have entries that explain how their work fits in this list.-- Mgdelarosa ( talk) 04:20, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
While mooching with the LGBT fiction template i made, i noticed that this exists, and is completely unsourced. Are there other occupation lists like this? Doesn't the general list of LGBT people cover occupation? Culling this to what could be sourced would seem redundant to other lists and a lot of work. I see writers like Paula Vogel, with no source here, no mention of LGBT in the article, and not in the LGBT writer category. I thought it best to invite comments here before adding a merge template or posting to the BLP violations board.
Inital thoughts:
Lawrlafo, can you list any "LGBT works" by these writers you may come across in your research? As discussed above, as simply a list of LGBT writers it is somewhat of a redundant spin-off of list of LGBT people (whereas there isn't really a general List of African American people, but instead various lists by jobs and other categories (see Lists of African Americans). A list of early works with LGBT themes is much more valuable, even if you choose to list it alphabetically by author. And I say "early works" because obviously the list gets exponentionally more huge the closer we get to present time, when it's OK to be gay LOL. — TAnthony Talk 18:43, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

The 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City were a watershed for the worldwide gay rights movement, as gay and transgender people had never before acted together in such large numbers to forcibly resist police. As a result, modern LGBT history is often categorized as either "Pre-" or "Post-Stonewall."

I do not agree with Yobmod's change of the title of this list from List of LGBT writers to List of writers of LGBT literature, as I explicitly only included LGBT or same-sex loving authors and purposefully did not include numerous authors who write about LGBT issues but are not LGBT themselves. I have asked Yobmod to reconsider this move.-- Lawrlafo ( talk) 08:12, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
I copied our ongoing discussion from the user talk page (I think the now current title is the inaccurate one :-) ):
Yobmod, your change of title of the
List of LGBT writers is not accurate. I went to great pains to only include people who are LGBT or same-sex loving in the list and not to include non-LGBT, non-same-sex authors who write on LGBT topics. Your new title does not reflect this at all. I would request that you undo your change. Thanks. --

Hi, I am not referring to the Wikipedia articles, I am referring to the articles in Claude Summers's The Gay and Lesbian Literary Heritage, which is the main reference for people like T.S. Eliot. I would personally prefer not to edit every single Wikipedia article that does not mention this (the author's same-sex or LGBT experience), but if that is what it takes, I can do it.-- Lawrlafo ( talk) 08:42, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
I am removing these authors who explore (or condemn) homosexuality in their work but who were not themselves same-sex loving (or whose sexuality is unknown or uncertain).
I will continue to go over the names on list and reread the outside sources to ascertain appropriateness of including them. -- Lawrlafo ( talk) 14:10, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
I think it best to move uncited wirters here, until citations are found. Many i'm sure are trivial to cite, but there are a lot. Writing a book with gay in the title does not mean no source is needed and i don't know of any gay book awards that require the writer be LGBT:
I alphabetized the above section of deleted names. We really need to work on getting some of these back in, as they are some of the most famous LGBT authors.-- Lawrlafo ( talk) 15:38, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
I know of at least three noted children's / young adult authors not listed who should be - James Howe, William Sleator, and Brian Selznick. I believe I saw Howe interviewed on a tv show about it, Sleator's recent obit mentioned his male "partner(s)," and Selznick's About the Author page in Wonderstruck mentions his partner, as well as him mentioning it in a recent interview printed online. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.71.226.194 ( talk) 18:00, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
Just as a heads-up, I've begun the process of converting this list from a plain format to a table, more like that which has long been in use at the various subpages of List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people. I will continue with this, but would welcome any assistance as it's a big job which I'm unlikely to be able to finish in one sitting. Bearcat ( talk) 21:55, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
